Hi Pasquale, don't be sorry You need to use Wanderer (or any Workbench clone ofc) to go in the drawer where your script is saved, then select its "test" icon and use the right-clic menu to open Icon/Information...

In this Information window you need to change the tool, for it to be C:IconX

Now you can go to the Tooltypes tab of the Information window, and add a WINDOW tooltype like that:WINDOW=CON:200/50/300/120/Test run by IconX/AUTO/CLOSE

This will open a Shell window with a title and dimensions as defined, and it will close it after 2 seconds. You can change this delay, either by adding WAIT or DELAY tooltypes with the delay you want (have a look here for the differences), or you can add /WAIT just after /CLOSE in the WINDOW tooltype, which will wait for the user to close the window himself.

@amigaYou're right but only when some conditions are met: on an unmodified system, the script is recognized as text, and thus gets a default project icon (a fake icon) with Multiview as default tool... So double-clicking its icon just does that: open the script with Multiview.

You're right nevertheless, you can use the Information window to delete the default tool and save, which will create a (real) project icon without a default tool: Wanderer will then fail to open it "à la Workbench", but will try to open the script "à la Shell": it will open a requester for you to confirm the command and its arguments, and then if the 'S' bit is not set, Wanderer will complain that the file is not executable. But if the 'S' bit is set, it will execute the script indeed.

Now it doesn't allow you to ask for specific dimensions/placement for the window, nor for its automatic closure.
